2.5.3.2 Creating smart referrals from the command line
Use the ldapmodify command line utility to create smart referrals from the command line.
To create a smart referral, create the relevant directory entry, and add the referral object class.
This object class allows a single attribute, ref. The ref attribute must contain an LDAP URL.
For example, add the following to return a smart referral for an existing entry, uid=jdoe:
dn: uid=jdoe,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com
objectclass: referral
ref: ldap://directory.europe.example.com/cn=john%20doe,ou=people,l=europe,dc=example,dc=com
NOTE:
Any information after a space in an LDAP URL is ignored by the server. For this reason, use %20
instead of spaces in any LDAP URL used as a referral.
To add the entry uid=jdoe,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com with a referral to
directory.europe.example.com, include the following in the LDIF file before importing:
dn: uid=jdoe, ou=people,dc=example,dc=com
objectclass: top
objectclass: person
objectclass: organizationalperson
